@PatriotForLyf @MoonLamboio Samesies… My wife and I are looking into building an expedition truck now, it would be amazing to be a nomad and off-grid for a few years.

@MoonLamboio Not a Lambo but already picked this guy up a few months back.

Exactly

@5tjMu @FirepowerUnited I think it’s only happened like one time for me. But my go to was an LEM trigger for the hammer fired H&K’s but moved to Glocks later anyways.

[Bullets and Bourbon @david_biegas]

@FirepowerUnited I used to only own H&K’s and my P2000 LEM was my go to for a long time. It treated me quite well but after getting into more and more training, I ended up switching to Glocks. Sold my USP9 and my P2000 v3. Still have my P2000 LEM, HK45, and VP9 but don’t shoot them ever anymore.

That should do it

[Bullets and Bourbon @david_biegas]

@ThePholosopherX Both are acceptable.

@MattWalshBlog @abbythelibb_ I’ve travelled a ton for work over the years, domestically and internationally and sear back is not a problem. No one has given me issue about it nor have I had issues with the person in front doing the same.

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

@LucasBotkin @bullseyebishop they are local to me but the staff has always been good to chat with, ask questions and whatnot. Helpful dudes for sure.

@MoonLamboio Hope your pup is doing better

[Bullets and Bourbon @david_biegas]

@DavidWolfe Holy fuck we are doomed.

[Bullets and Bourbon @david_biegas]

@DonutOperator Still haven’t seen the first part but have badly wanted to over the past year. I’ll probably watch it together as one long, epic movie after this drops later in the year. Can’t wait.
